If dying means leaving it all behind, then what is the point of accumulating wealth?
These days — warning, sarcasm ahead — the point is usually so that the heirs and relatives of the deceased can fight over the estate.
Sarcasm aside, if we lived in a money-free society, then there would be no interest in someone’s accumulated wealth because there would have been no money to be saved. Furthermore, there would be no desire for their belongings since material goods would already be freely available to all.
In other words, nobody would want what the deceased once owned because they would likely already own it themselves.
In a money-free society, your heirs and relatives would sincerely mourn your passing rather than covet your property.
That is the only way to celebrate a life well lived.
